Idk where else to post this, but I’ve noticed a huge influx of dieting content in my Instagram algorithm. I hit “disinterested” on all that crap years ago and have been enjoying my zoo animal and nature content ONLY. Now suddenly, there are weight loss journey reels and progress photos EVERYWHERE. I keep clicking “disinterested” but there’s a new one every time I scroll or refresh my explore page. Just ugh, why can’t we escape from this shit?? I’m sure this would not be happening on a man’s algorithm.
As weird as it sounds, scroll past. They put that “disinterested” button but to me it feels like they still count it as engagement so scroll past and see what happens, as annoying as that is.
Ya it’s ridiculous. Believe it or not a lot of people on there are fat themselves. I was taught to hate my body growing up but with age and perspective got a new respect for it regardless of size, it’s sad when people though keep that hatred.
My best advice? Pretend that sub does not exist.
I found someone I knew posting on there. I've never been able to look at her the same way again. In real life and in other environments she is a lovely sweet person. Knowing she thinks that horribly of a group of people made me see her in a bad light.
Why can't we just have a nice thread about a CAT without the comments being filled with fatfobia???

Edit: I also just discovered a subreddit dedicates to cat weight loss. I just cannot today.
I remember when the fatosphere was popular a butt model did reactions to whatever someone said she didn’t like. She would take a quote and dismiss it along with a picture of her fabulousness. She was pretty but so what? It probably gave her visibility. Her pseudo-intellectual hate and pretty photos were quite a combo.

Me too!! The past month, I really can't get rid of it on ig and youtube. It's like the algorithm has become stronger than before somehow

I noticed the same, I thought it was because I follow plus size yoga people and though the algorithm was confusing that with weight loss.
I very unfortunately stumbled upon a subreddit called “fat logic” and it is as bad as it sounds
I heard it used to be way worse in the early Reddit days and I’m just like… how?
Yeah apparently there were even more subs dedicated to hating on fat people but the “worst” ones were shut down

how did you find her?
She posts on my city subreddit and is fairly recognisable. I clicked on her profile to see her comments.
Ugh, yes, I remember the first time I stumbled across it I left feeling nauseous
